i think i WANT to cash-in on my early upgrade and grab this beast....(coming from my DX)
All that i read and not "wait" for the next best thing......I really think i want to..

anyone else???
 
Although I'm not a Samsung fan either, I will be getting the new Nexus device.

Question for those that have done this before: for new phones like this new Nexus coming out, how does this work with early upgrade? My wife & I are on a typical fam share plan, and her phone(dx) is due for an upgrade. So, I'm going to use hers to upgrade mine (i know they let you do that), but my question is how does this work with pre-orders? Are you able to do this or are pre-orders ONLY for full price only purchases? Do I have to wait until it physically comes into stores before I can upgrade my current DX at discounted pricing (and of course renewing another 2yr agreement

)?
 
My contract isn't up until the beginning of Feb but if this is truly the next google phone i'm most likely going to skip whatever is out at the time and snag this puppy.

If you buy on line you can order it using your wife's upgrade. Just fill everything out like you are replacing her phone. When the phone arrives call customer support and tell them what number you want to activate. I recently Duisburg this for a phone and it worked like a charm.

I'll jump ship for it. When the deployment is over in JAN, I'll see what it and the Galaxy III look like and make the jump.
Tired of the restarts on the DX, buttons that won't turn off in the dock. Dam thing lights up my room. And the LCD display, nice and bright, but too bright in the night mode since it's LCD and edge lit. I think the AMOLED do not make light when the screen is black.
 
Lets see how it does once it's out. The talk of the Bionic was quickly fizzled when the bugs and screen quality were made apparent.
 
seriously considering it. a friend of mine got the Sprint Epic Touch 4G a few weeks ago and i'm suffering from a serious case of gadget-envy. if this thing even comes close to living up to the hype i'll be snatching one up at the earliest possibility.

i'll still keep my DX for backup though.
 
I'm interested to see how the Prime/Razr situation works out

the Nexus device should have an unlocked bootloader, but VZW doesn't like that at all

OTOH, Moto has promised an unlocked/able bootloader in late 2011, which could be the Razr...

Let the debate begin!

I don't see Moto unlocking any bootloader on a phone.

Plus, have you seen the leaked pics of the Droid RAZR? It's butt ugly in my opinion.
 
I think those leaked pics are probably the old Droid HD stuff

and, I'm just going off of Moto's quote. if they don't want to fulfill it, well, no skin off of my back.
